Catalog file Afields.fdc and Shapes.atc not found on launch AUTOCAD2016 and 2018

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 09:03:27 GMT

Issue occurring on AutoCad Architecture 2016 and 2018 on Citrix VDI while using Windows Roaming Profile & Folder Redirection (Same as windows Roaming Profile) on Citrix Xendesktop 7.15 LTSR, Windows 10 version 1803.

Please see the error attached below.

manually copying the Shapes.atc and Acfields.fdc from C:\program Files\Autodesk\Autocad 2018\UserDataCache\Support works and is a good Workaround but definately not Fix. There has to be a better solution to manually copying the files. is there any option inside the Autocad application to set a common location to look for these two catalog files (similar to Support Files directory location)? if yes how to set a common location for all users to look for these two catalog files to a common location?

Your thoughts and inputs are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hello @Anonymous,

Thank you for posting.

Many Autodesk products do not support restricted or roaming users even in the default, out-of-box configuration. Please review the Unable to run AutoCAD as a restricted user.
